If you've ever heard those words echoing through our clinic, you already know the magic that follows. Let me tell you what we as BCBAs and RBTs see happening beneath that simple, joyful song.
For many of our children on the autism spectrum, vocal communication is one of the hardest-won skills there is. Some of our kiddos rarely use their voices at all. Every word is a mountain climbed. Every sound is a breakthrough.
So when those voices fill this clinic, no matter how imperfect, unique, wonderfully their own, it is nothing short of extraordinary. To some ears it might sound like a simple children's song. To us? It is the sound of progress. It is the sound of connection. It is the sound of *why we are here.*
In the face of every challenge, every storm, every moment of uncertainty in this field these are the moments that bring us back. Back to the mission. Back to the science. Back to the children who remind us, every single day, that what we do matters.
These voices ARE the beauty of ABA. And we are so proud to be here for every single one of them.
